Video or Photograph

Had the idea to clip out shots of the power director program to show how to process a video from the start to the finish but there are so many steps in it that I believe... now... that doing a video on it would be much better.... Ill post only three screen shots below which was just to import a file.... you will understand I was.....

for the early evening... so I started it but then flung my hands up in the air.

Power Director is very handy. Its all drag and drop, touch and move, click and slide.

You can opne a file and click on your clip and it will show up in the top left... then you just drag it to the time line below and ....

It starts creating frames in blue.. each file is a little bar. Each clip attached to the one after it. You can detach move..over write... split... cut... super easy.....

Except to try and explain it. Perhaps when I have a moment to myself in a room I can close the door to I will create a video for basic functions.....

I promise to post it.

I had good intentions of stopping today on the way to the house and getting some pictures of the cloud capped mountains but it started to sprinkle on me, the idiot in front of me decided it was a perfect place on a 65 mph highway to slam on the breaks and swerve causing everyone around them to veer away..... then continue as if nothing happened.... and another non blinker idiot cutting off more people as if everyone else was a cardboard cut out and only existent for that moment.. that stacking of stupidity decided for me that I was not going to get any good shots today.

I did when getting home, take some pictures of a few dead flowers which I though were sad but nice in a very subtle way... Okay.... why with a no trespassing / do not ring doorbell sign right square in your face do you ring my bloody doorbell to sell me something?????? Again.... The crass rudeness of people is amazing! I am removing my doorbell this weekend and locking my front gate. Diggin a moat.... building a piked wall...releasing the hounds.... Wow... the nerve!

Back to the flowers.... I liked them.. nice and dusky... softly pastellish....

Lilacs and Reds.

Bokeh!

Corrugations.

It was worth the time getting close enough but not too close. I think they would make good wallpaper for the computer. Not big enough for much else.  I expect they could be enlarged but hay.. it was a test to see how they would turn out.

Other than all that...... and wow.. that was enough..... I am watching the weather.... I was hoping to maybe hopefully fly this Sunday but its real questionable right now. Wednesday I will have to decide what to do.... maybe send out a "maybe" email... There are some funny things going on over the Western part of the US right now.

My facebook banner for the day is from a nice photographer who was wading on the edge of the Rio Grande and got a bunch of shots of me and my sister floating down the river after splashing in... It was a good day... Cant remember where we landed after.. Oh yes.. Now I remember... It was a good day.

 We are really just touching the water not really floating on the water... Just perfectly there.

My logo for the day is the side of my envelope right where one of my turning vents is near my tail number. Seriously bright yellow... As a good friend said.. Bold! and Subtle.

Turning vents are holes in the side of your balloon envelope to well.... let out ari sideways so you can spin like a top in the air.. it works.. its crazy fun.... 

And there you go.....
